Re: Joe Dodoo now scoring on his debut

Hopefully he gets a good run of games for Charlton that will give us more stats etc to judge him on. In an ideal scenario, he will get a run of games and bag himself a decent amount of goals. All the better for us if he does.

Re: Joe Dodoo now scoring on his debut

I've continually said there is definitely a player in there with Dodoo, he's proven he can finish anytime he's been given the opportunity to.
Just frustrates the **** out of me that he gets shunted out wide whenever he comes off the bench.

Re: Joe Dodoo now scoring on his debut

Two ways to look at it depending on who you are.

1) The manager is clueless and doesn't know how to get the best out of his players (be careful with this one though because it also includes Waghorn and Garner and a certain Mark Warburton was responsible for signing all three yet couldn't seem to get any of them scoring regularly in the Scottish Premier either).

2) the pressure of playing in front of 45-50,000 punters demanding a win every other week against teams happy to stick ten men behind the ball and play for a point was too much for them.

Or to sum, they've all now found their level at smaller clubs with more modest ambitions?

Why cant Joe Dodoo be a very good prospect who needs games at a lower level/expectation range?

Or Dodoo is a striker with a knack for scoring but with limited skill on the ball who therefore plays well as a number 9 but is wasted on the wing.

Hope he does well down there and comes back to be challenging Morelos for his place. His problem been with us was that we nearly always played him out of position. He's now behind Morelos for the 9 slot and isn't great elsewhere so good on Pedro for letting him go develop elsewhere and we hopefully get him back better able to compete for that jersey

Re: Joe Dodoo now scoring on his debut

Disappointed Dodoo was never given a proper run in the team as he has a lot of composure, pace and strength. Definite signs of a player there at the end of last season.

He was brought on for the second half in the Scottish Cup Semi and immediately looked like he could cause them some problems with his pace and strength. Outstanding 10 minute spell at Pittodrie where he scored 1, set 1 up and hit the bar. Hope he returns.

Or he's making a good impression at a new club. Typical honeymoon period for a striker

Noticed we didn't get yet another thread about McKay, Garner and Waghorn's scoring exploits last weekend
